Fashion; you never know that from where lines get crossed

Sometimes expectations force you to take on complicated projects. After watching the movie, I knew that writing a review over such fine grained piece of work would be tougher as one needs to get it readable means compact in size, but the details it touches… Anyway….

The well advertised and well announced movie, which was awaited from long. Fashion world; I really unable to find many names, when I think of films fine graining realities of Fashion world in this much closer ways.

After an unnoticed debut with “Trishakti”, Chandni Bar, Satta, Page 3, Corporate and now Fashion, Madhur Bhadarkar now seems to be settled in big ranks and only after Fashion some people like me will be waiting for his next projects for sure. He really amazed me with his fine graining and also leaving some things over the viewer’s notice only, kind of a unique presentation.I could claim that this remarkably mature film is Madhur’s most accomplished work till now, even if Page 3 was a fine grained attempt, but it was somewhat on a lesser larger scale. He seemed to be Brand Ambassador of new age Realistic Cinematography.

First let’s discuss what one think of Fashion world while standing outside this mysterious world, just by watching a few occasional Fashion shows on FTV. We wonder that how come…

  1. How come all the model seems to be so overly stone faced and under extremely hyper makeup without any reason? Do they feel any emotion? Do they live in this world?
  2. How much attitude they seem to carry, aren’t they seem to selling cloths to aliens only?
  3. How much true the often rumors of exploitation of models and stealing of so much acclaimed designs? Wardrobe malfunctions, Casting couches?
  4. What about Fashion’s high society wild life showcasing Gay relations and drugs all around?

These were the initial question before watching the movie and it gives attentions to all these in one way or another. Still lots of things remained untouched, but one project can’t address everything, still many things left about Fashion world. Even then in the way, this movie satisfies critics, no one stands parallel to it.

This movie is about a girl named Meghna (Priyanka Chopra), who after winning a local beauty contest extends her dreams, to the biggest sky of Fashion World. The girl had a dream and at the same the determination to make it reality, she makes it, but with what she passes through tells many things to the people dreaming for entering into the practical world.

Meghna with her acquaintance Rohit (Ashwin Mushran) starts to interact with pieces of the real world. She comes to meet a few later on closer friends like Janet (Mugdha Godse) and Rahul (Harsh Chhaaya) and Manav Bhasin (Arjan Baweja) in next few happenings and in dramatic ways with just a flip of eyes finds her in front of big names like Anisha Roy (Kittu Gidwani) owner of biggest Profile Agency for Fashion World and Abhijeet Sareen (Arbaaz Khan) acclaimed Big Daddy of Fashion World, owner of biggest company Panache for fashion world.

Once her dream Sonali Nagpal (Kangna Ranaut), soon finds herself replaced by Meghna; not only because of being a new face, but many little things adding into it. Meghna starts running, slowly missing the real world around in her pace. Everything seems to happen logically, in her practical winning eyes till she comes feel that she committed just a few mistakes.

Meghna becomes an overnight success and is everywhere – right from being the showstopper at the biggest fashion shows in town to fashion magazine covers to print ads to TV commercials. The overnight success spoils Meghna and the budding love relationship between her and Manav also comes to an abrupt end. Meghna never gets to know that when she went alike Sonali; the same arrogance, the same freaking and the same fate. Her feet stops only when she finds herself naked in bed with an stranger Black Man for a night stand in overdose of Drug. The ignition of the plot (Sonali Nagpal) seems is taken from the incident of Geetanjali Nagpal; an Ex-Model turned Drug Addict and then found begging on New Delhi streets. I think people should check out following links for the same story

Meghna still finds herself under a shelter due to support of her family, where she come back after that night leaving everything behind. One year passes and after giving all thoughts, she comes back. Comes back to find her all left friends, comes back to tell herself that the mistakes could be altered, comes back to know that is the same fate name of Fashion?

Learning from her mistakes, getting her old friends back as she were true from her once in front of them, she again come to face the world. Trembles once, but relations again come to give her chance to win and when she reaches the edge of making it, she found herself losing Sonali, now days under her guardianship. The message was clear… not everyone gets chances to come back.

This was the story, which was so fine grained that you didn’t found many even if you try for the flaws. Yes, it has its share of flaws like being too lengthy almost 3 hours (2 hours and 50 mins precisely) and missing details from others side than the “showstopper” herself, but for me, it was justified for a critic point of view and thanks to Madhur, he didn’t compromised.

What I really got amazed about was the look and attitude engraved by Kangna. She really looked like a super model, somewhere Priyanka was way behind her, even after her till now best emotional appearance on her credits, somewhere Kangna leaves other behind by stone faced presence and perfection on stage like I myself went on googling that if she hails from Fashion world and I admire her most as she was not. But for me, she proving herself as a find for film industries.

Second fact that was troubling me was “Are all designers and people involved backstage in Fashion Industry seems to be Gay?” Madhur admits here

Really feeling so so much about this movie, but it’s been just a little late and many good things has been said about this movie, so better to watch the movie with full attention than just reading the review. Although for insights of characters, you may check out review on Wikipedia

The scenes I loved from the movie are plenty, but the meaningful to me were the following:

  1. The first fashion show pictured in this movie, probably the most authentic and impressing one.
  2. When Kangna doesn’t turn back after wardrobe malfunction and we still confused that it was coincidence or …
  3. When Meghna answers to Abhijeet in front of his wife Avantika (Suchitra Pillai).
  4. When Meghna woke up from bed and gets herself naked with a stranger.
  5. When Meghna finds Manav moved on in his life.
  6. When under tears Meghna still finds her way to walk on Ramp finally with full confidence with straight eyes in front of all cameras.

Do you need any reasons to watch the movie? Are you still confused and waiting for others approvals and opinions? Don’t think even once, it’s the Show Stopper… go for it.

Rubaru; what if life doesn’t give chance to make things back to right …

What’s point in writing a review over movie after this much long after its release? Sure, in place of answers, I have lots questions in my mind. Why such movies, ideas don’t get big banners? Why people don’t get ways to publicize such sensitive matters? Don’t we have means to get limelight to such intellectual creations?

Ru Ba Ru; have you heard about this movie? For most of the chances, you haven’t heard of the same. Even if heard then just heard about a dozen kisses, the lead pair share in this movie, but the people trying to make out a publicity from negative side, come to forget the fact that it’s a capable movie, dammn it, really really capable. But now I really think that do we have the market and people to get it in that ways? Yes! There might be so much of intellectual audience, but what is the way to send them the message that there is some movie out here of their taste? I really missed this movie and just was watching it to pass my time as from all recent releases, this one was probably the only one, I didn’t watched in very first week and it was a tremendous experience.

Title: Ru Ba Ru
Directed by: Arjun Bali
Produced by: Percept Picture Company
Music: Satyadev Burman, Sameeruddin and Strings
Lyrics: Aditya Narayan, Shuja Haider, Soumik Sen and Arjun Bali
Starring: Randeep Huda and Shahana Goswami..

This movie was special to me otherwise, I haven’t came to write a review over it. I found it intellectual enough like Strangers, Cheeni Cum or more closely Mumbai Salsa, but unfortunately all of them shared a way lesser exposure and when left the theaters, one never came to know. Obviously, Cheeni Cum was better out of it due to Amitabh himself. But …

This was a movie for relations, where we see girls preferring the soul of relation itself, while guys prefer perfecting the things in practical ways, which often land in wrong ways to make the relation go uncomfortable. Boys side finds it lesser practical to flip the eyes from ground realities and wants to settle down the troubles one by one and then moving towards enjoying life, while girls get it in the way that if relations are sticking together firmly, then everything could get a way out to be good.

The approaches are quite reasonable as boys know that they would be blamed if anything goes wrong as they were supposed to take care of everything being a tougher side, while girls know that everything has to be fine and it’s a small world of people, one always have to live for. May I won’t be coming with the right words to express the same….. coz of being a boy obviously But it’s not only this movie, many other movie of the same genre reminds me of this difference.

We often see pairs fighting in the same ways even if they loved each other as closely as they could. Rightly said once, when one is wrong in relations, then its easy to set it back, but when both are right, then it’s really …. We get to see an interesting statement in the middle of movie …

  • I don’t know. I do so much, but still she is never happy.
    > Do you love her?
  • Why won’t I love her? What else do you want?
    > You love her, but don’t know how to express it.
  • I will make everything right, when she will be back
    > what if you never got a chance to make everything fine?

The same conversation was what the movie is all about.

Everything is like we get to see, get to experience; forgetting dates, forgetting what’s important for the other one, girls thinking that they are giving their extreme priority to the boys side, while boys thinking why can’t they cope up with the same, even after trying their permissible, practically best. Boys get irritated as they don’t want to get the tag all the time that they don’t care or don’t love the way other side do. They always learned to focus one thing at a time and probably, life is this much engaging that just being with it pace gives no time back to you.

So, is the story all about it? No, there was something else in it to make us realize it in some different way as well.

Nikhil woke up at a day with a bad dream, which ended in a highly tragic node of death of his girlfriend and live-in partner Tara. Somehow Nikhil realizes her that what if he loses everything before getting all the things, all the preparation right in place. The day moves and he get to see everything around him happening in more or less the same way, he got to see in dream. He gets scared and tries to make everything away from the fate, but things keep on moving in the same way and he keeps on changing the things from his side to make everything right from today itself, but was the fate easy enough to be pushed away? Watch the movie …. Learn the priorities.

Saawariya: A cinematic poetry

Saawariya; Movie or dream sequence? Story or some poetry? Moving through sometimes simple and sometimes complex symbols, that’s what Saawaria is.

Its only the second attempt of Hindi Commercial Cinema after Gaj Gamini to use big screen canvas to emulate such a concept. I think its easy to loose track of what’s going on in such creations, but people who love classics and could notice minute details of language of symbolism, its going to be a tough treat to mind. Its like those Satyajeet Ray movies, I have been heard of but not got to see many times, because of being Hindi movies lover. I wont recommend the same for anyone, who just might be wishing to go and watch a movie for time-pass or to go because of Rani Mukharji or Salman Khan. You are suggested to go for the same, if you able to notice voice of silence, wants to watch a movie from a critic angle or hopelessly romantic up to the extent of some poet, probably, you might not have seen something similar ever, if have been fond of movies only and have not seen stages.

Director & Producer: Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Cost: Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Zohra Sehgal, Begum Para, Achla Sachdev

Lyrics: Sameer, Nusrat Badr.

Music: Monty Singh.

A well awaited movie because of the name of SLB and he really surprised me over his class of imagination and control over minute details. But on the other side, he misses to give the commercial touch to the movie and except dead hard movie lovers and critics like me, it will brought disappointment to viewers, as its all about the imagination and poetry in place of any visible storyline or theme.

Visibly, it’s a story of four nights, in which two lovers passes through loads of emotions and levels of romance in a poetic manner. From inside, it’s a simple story, we might have encountered here and there, where a boy meets someone, who is already in love, found her irresistible and wish to be with her even if in form of a sweet friend only. Lots of things, loads of emotions and always a hope that someday, she will be able to get his silent love and come to believe that she deserves for something more than she have in form her lost love. She is waiting for someone and he is waiting for her to melt, both walk and talk together for four nights and before glimpse of love might get its full glory, she turns back to her love.

“When we ask for rights, then we loose friend, and if we don’t then its turn of friendship to go.”

How could you touch a heart, who is not wishing to hear, even when love to be with you to share her things? How could you bear, when you come to propose her in clear words finally, after giving lots of symbols, but she misses and ask you back about her love? How could you hold yourself, when she shows extreme rights over you and even then never wishful to give any, which you might have asked? How could you make yourself stand like a true friend, when you know that you love her as your life?

Not able to get my questions? Then leave it… its not your idea of entertainment.

It’s a story of a happy go lucky innocent bar singer Ranbir. One silent bright and starry night, he spots a mysterious girl dressed in black, standing alone at a bridge. This chance encounter introduces him to Sakina, a shy and quiet, melancholic and enigmatic girl, who continues to intrigue him. Thus follows the beginning of a new friendship, where Raj with his most charming ways and an undying spirit tries to win Sakina’s heart. He is just unable to accept her haunting past and their friendship pulls him into a whirlwind of desire, madness and romance.

Initially, Raj thinks that’s (her past) a crafted story, but finally realizes its authenticity. But he kept on believing that someday, it will go a happy ending for him, but … It ends up on a distressing note, where Sakina chooses her love interest (Salman Khan) over her best soul-mate (Ranbir Kapoor).

Was the end right? I think yes, because that was the intention and origin of the story. Is hard to relate yourself, but if you close your eyes, then somewhere, you could feel the pain in smiles.

Coming over commercial angles, then I know that like Gajgamini, it may get the same fate over Box Office and even the high expectations from the same, will make it fall for big times. Even then I will rate it as far better attempt of create a poetry than Gajgamini, although miserably, we don’t have audience of that level, which could come to appreciate the movie.

Emotions, acting, direction all are marvelous and classic, although I was not impressed by choreography, don’t know why? It was like missing some hit.. don’t know what. Watch it at your own risk, only you could decide that you are going to like it or not.

For me, Raj will continue to wait.

Bachna Ae Haseeno : When we come to know that she is the one

Yashraj Productions … many expectations … similar look and feel, which had keeping Yashraj’s on the top of chart in all those years. Are they back on track? That’s what was in my mind, when I went to watch this movie. As I watched it on Saturday, just after one day of its release, so was having no clue or pre-set mind before watching the same as I start with all the time. Friday was given in favour of “God Tussi Great Ho” in spite of knowing its limitations as I was not aware that “Bachna Ae Hasino” has been released. Interestingly both the movies were watched by me in PVR. I should confess that I have been away from Picture Halls from long time as I prefer to watch movies at my home, but this time, these were holidays and so….

Like others, I also been impressed with Yashraj Banners in the way, they realize the feeling of love in various ways. Hum Apke Hai Kaun, Dil To Pagal Hai (There is someone for you somewhere), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Love may happen twice), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Never let it go, if you get your the one) and Bachna Ae Hasino now… All the earlier ones been grand mile stones.. what about this one? Siddharth Anand has given Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra Rum Pum earlier, so sure this one has its share of expectations. Lets see, where is stands…

Every teenager knows about the word “Love”, to realize the things as he/ she heard about. We grew up and according to our maturity levels, we perceive the same in different manners. But sure Love is not always like we see in movies, what we read in books. Few questions always stays in front of us as to-be-answered. Sometime we pass through these questions, sometime we not.

1- What we wants from this feeling “Love”?

2- Could we wait till we get the final one and avoid the pressure of being the “Killer”?

3- Could we ever realize that which one is the final one?

4- What if we never get “The one”?

5- Is being hooked with someone for a while, whose company make you feel nice, wrong?

6- Are we ready to take it as a lifetime contract?

8- Is something like “Love at first sight” exists?

9- When we really get ready to commit from innermost from our heart?

10- Does everyone get, what they called “Love”?

 

“Bachna Ae Hasino” although doesn’t state it in precise words, but there is a hidden note for girls, to access the state of mind as well before falling for someone, before getting hurt. But nothing to discuss about that here as that’s to be accessed by viewer itself.

 

“Bachna Ae Hasino” follows the journey of Raj Sharma (Ranbir Kapoor) from the age of 17 to 30 years. The one meets three different girls at three different stages of his life. What he learns about love with these experiences is what “Bachna Ae Hasino” all about.

 

In 1996, A normal handsome dude in the age of 17, with his go lucky attitude, meets the first girl Mahi (Minissha Lamba), a small town girl from Panjab, in the backdrop of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Mahi has her share of fantasies and out to find her Raj,
while Raj is out with his friends to find foreign chiks like teen age boys. Some luck and some tricks from Raj play to make things go happen in way things happened between Simran and Raj (DDLG) and in this way, Raj succeed to make her fall for him. They share a kiss after Raj reads her a poem, in which he had written about his feelings for her. They have fun together and when Raj drops Mahi at the airport, Mahi opens the page on which Raj had written the poem, only to find it blank. Mahi breaks down in front of Raj, after she sees him talking to his friends about her in cheap ways. Raj leaves her crying and these 10 days leaves Mahi as heart broken forever.

This was all about Teen Age love. A little show off, few little fantasies, curiosity to know what it is, what people call as love. We don’t feel about commitments, unable to posses that level of respect for emotions, commit blunders and later forget it as it was a play. Some of us come to be strong enough to get ahead of these early heartbreaks and for some, it leaves a mark for lifetime.

 

In 2002,
Raj, working as Game Analyst for Microsoft (what more one could be wishing for), is in Mumbai staying in a Live-In Relationship with his Girlfriend Radhika. The second girl, Radhika (Bipasha Basu), hot and glamorous having origin of Ranchi, is here for being a successful model. After having a good time without asking about any commitment, Raj gets transferred to Sydney to work there. He tries to leave Radhika behind and Radhika plans for their engagement sacrificing her own career. Raj never expected to see Radhika asking for marriage even at cost of her own career and get shocked. After his share of efforts (even went up to the extent of presenting himself as impotent), finally Raj took his teen-age attitude and fly to Sydney without even informing Radhika, leaving her waiting under rain on the stairs of Marriage Bureau. This one year live-in-relationship tears apart Radhika to be Shreya; the big successful name.

This was all about love, before getting that level of maturity, which gives you sense of responsibility and you fall for the person, not for beauty or glamour only. Otherwise, we just want to have it for fun and for showing off that we are Killers. We don’t wish to get these days ended, thinking that we have something much more better stored somewhere for us. We just enjoy having fun time and don’t wish to get asked about rights, morality and commitment. We look at the show off side, fun etc. but miss to see the depth of developing relations. Yes, we commit by words, but still run away from real commitments. Sometimes we breakup by words, sometimes by other means or sometimes just run away like Raj chosen this time without even thinking that what the person at other side felt.

 

In 2007, Raj finds another love mate as Gayatri (Deepika Padukone). One day, while romancing in a taxi cab with an Australian girl, whom he has a breakup with 10 seconds later, he meets Gayatri, the driver of the cab, who also works in a super-market as the cashier. She is intellectual, witty and cute enough to charm Raj. She doesn’t believes in institution of marriage or rules of commitment like Raj. He finds her irresistible and this time, after dating a while, he get settled over the fact that she is the one for him and like never before, this time, he decides to ask her for commitment of lifetime. But Gayatri refuses the same and call it an end of their relationship.

 

Heart broken Raj now come to feel the pain, he might have given to Mahi or Radhika and only thing, he decides to do, is to go for correcting his mistakes and here comes The Intermission.

Now, the second half starts and message of film ends here (as of my perspective) and bollywood starts. Was it going to be that easy to just go and say sorry and then get a smile back, saying that “Nothing to worry about that what happened in past, I am fine and forgiven you long back”?

 

Yes, it was not like that. He reaches to Mahi’s place. He meets her husband Joginder Ahaluwalia
(Kunal Kapoor) and two sons. He got shocked to know that how much deep impact, he has left over the innocent girl that she is not comfortable in her love life even after having two kids. He feels the love, Joginder has for Mahi, feels how much big loss, he has given to Joginder and also realize that what he has done is not so small to be forgiven.

 

From this point of time, the Hero emerged from Raj and even after getting threatened by Joginder, he decided to stay and make the things nicer for Mahi. It was so funny to hear from Kunal that “if you came near her again, then it will take another 12 years to get Mahi back to normal”. It was also touchy to hear, when Joginder says he don’t know the words with which Raj like boy impresses girls, but still loves her from inner most of the heart. Raj realizes that Joginder is the one, Mahi was always looking for. Luckily it takes only a few tricks and one meet with Mahi in a wedding and he makes it. I feel thrilled with the moment, when he walks away with the smile after achieving, what he wished for.

 

Now, it comes to Radhika, who is Shreya now; a very successful star of Glamour World. Shreya now seems to became much rude over whole world, but still gives a chance to Raj, by saying that she will hear, if he agrees to be her personal assistant for a while. Raj agrees and then it goes literally like the song “Small Town Girl” says, means he does everything from washing the floor, to dancing on the roads. Finally, Shreya breaks to say that you are total desperate to get forgiven na… She breaks to tell him, what she felt after being left behind like a cheap trash. Her most touchy words for me, when she says “I know, I was never that girl, one boy might be wishing to get on meeting with his mother.” She says, she will never forgive him, she can’t.

Raj realizes that what he has did to Radhika, was like something, no one could forgive and decided to leave from this point. But here, the forgiveness of girls came in and he finds Radhika at the Airport. She forgive him saying that probably, if he has not been like that then she was not that successful ever as she is now. She comes back to be Radhika again and Raj moves back to Sydney again.

 

After reaching Sydney, our lucky dude, come to find that Gayatri loves him and has written many letters to him in this six months period. He meets her and find the cycle of love gets completed.

Movie ends here, but still leaves lots of questions for me …..

1- Was just saying sorry and making things little nicer is enough to pay out for the couple, who lost their 12 years, which were expected to be their sweetest part of life?

2- Was just doing everything desperately to be forgiven, was enough to pay out for the girl, who given up her every desire, her everything to someone and in return, who was left lonely in the world to hear and bear everything?

3- Was just saying sorry was enough to payout for leaving the girl missing you for a total of six months

Raj was lucky to get forgiven, moreover, it was just a movie, but could anyone else be lucky like this …. one can’t be. Thanks for making an effort to make boys realizing the seriousness of relationships.

 

Remarks:

Ranbir: Looks enough cute for the role and it seems like this role was meant for him only.

Minisha: Although I’ll be critical over her looks, but otherwise she looked cute like any teenager.

Bipasha: Hot as per requirements of the role. Given complete justification to the role.

Deepika: Perfect one. She looks innocent, cute and witty at the same time. I don’t think that it was easy for someone else to justify the role in this way.

Sure, I wont be calling this movie, something perfect like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Why? Probably, I wont be able to mention the same precisely, but still misses something, somewhere. But even then, I hope that this is sweet enough to find places in the heart of teens. Nice songs, nice locations and hot-n-cute pairs… what one could wish from a Bollywood Flick.

Arushi Murder Case: What’s going on …

Name: Arushi Talwar
Age: 14 Years
Education: 9th Standard
Father’s name: Rajesh Talwar
Location: Sector 25, Noida .
Murdered on: May 16th 2008

Fifteen-year-old Aarushi, a Class 9 student of Delhi Public School (Noida), was found dead with multiple stab injuries on her face, chest and neck when her father opened her bedroom door at their home here on Friday morning. This was the official news line and later whatever, we have seen, will be in our memories for long.

Either it was Police’s eagerness to discuss even the theories with media as pinpointed in article http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=134269 or it was media’s eagerness to find their share of breaking news as could be founded as a good read in articles like

http://justforfriends.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/aarushi-murder-case-and-the-role-of-media/.

It was all about taking mine or others attentions towards this matter otherwise probably, I was also going along the same way as other people go means taking it as another SIP of COFFEE or another daily soap.

The first day, without any proper investigation started with the wordings that the servant named ‘Hemraj’ is the killer and he has ran away, until the a retired Army officer living nearby discovered on the basis of obvious signs lying in the house that the servant himself has been killed and his dead body is on terrace, which was locked at the moment. Interestingly, neither Police nor media nor the family itself was able to reach up to this point. But notice that it was a mere few hours gap and stories and theories were circulated in whole country and even outside the country that it was another incident of family person killed by some domestic help.

In next, after getting dead body of the servant himself, we got introduced by another fact\ theory that it was an honour killing, which was possibly due to one of any reason; either of extra-marital affairs between Rajesh Talwar and one of her colleague named Anita Durrani or any objectionable relations between Arushi and Hemraj. Till now, 24×7 News Channels were able to circulate lots of questions. Who did it? Who locked the door? Who was hiding what? This is a natural human reaction in such circumstances. If Hemraj did it, Vishnu did it, robbers did it the clinic staff did it and finally whether the family did it?

I feel terribly embraced about our share of involvement in this humiliation, when we were watching these all allegations of affairs between Hemraj and Arushi. Police went even to diagnose from the angle over the body of 14 years old girl, if some sexual intercourse happened that night or if Arushi was having sexual relations with anyone. Fortunately, all the reports went negative to prove her innocent. Today, I see fractions of her emails being sensationalized over news channels, with the highlighted keywords like “Love” and line like “It happens in today’s teenage life and one need to do things for making her image.” You all tell me once that is there any evidence yet to prove that she was anywhere on some wrong side rather than being a normal sociable school going kiddy? So called Love, affections, more than one boys… is not this happens in everyone’s life? Mind it, these are not even the relations, but something to keep her in race like going on in school going kids. Orkut, Facebook etc… is there any age boundary to feel the emotions? No, nothing like that … but sure today’s age, gives you the big words to write to speak without feeling the means behind them. So what? if ‘love’ or ‘relations’ like words are being used in emails? Are you trying to be living in ancient age by proving someone’s morality on the basis of that?

How cruel it is? Everyone playing with words, theories without caring that what it might be causing to others lives, who are being affected? If there was nothing between Anita Durrani and Rajesh Talwar, then who is responsible to spoil their lives forever? If there was nothing like objectionable relations between Arushi and Hemraj and Hemraj was treating her only as his own child, then guessing such irresponsible things after their lives, was not a crime? Who will pay for that? A father, if really innocent, then what’s going on with him? If later, somehow he will be relieved from the allegations, then was his life ever going to be like always? I am saying this as I know it’s very likely, because as a matter of fact, I could say that there is no solid evidence to prove the matter in courts or in high court.

I go by the wording as in the article

http://justforfriends.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/aarushi-murder-case-and-the-role-of-media

After the death, everyone avoids using bad words about even worse people and she was someone, who was praised by everyone in her circle as a cute, lively and sweet girl. Then guessing about her character on the baseless and always coming out as wrong theories was right in what sense? I think media should have been more responsible with the use of words and available information. “Each theory that comes to mind is their breaking news”.

I also agree with the question raised with the article

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080525011231AAmnxrI

  1. Media is supposed to protect the people, and help the victim. If parents are the victims in this case, how the media has helped them?
  2. If the father is a decent man & really did not had the affair as the mother claimed then don’t you think Police and Media hurt them very badly?
  3. If the child has been killed for any other reason (nothing to with the child / revenge on parents), then don’t you think we even spoke badly about the child?
  4. “Any death is a moment of sorrow, but a death by murder and that too of a small child, is the most ghastly thing for anybody to face. I don’t know if the parents will ever be able to get through this” Are we giving right kind of condolence to them?
  5. If the servant would have treated the child as his own daughter & the killer had other intensions, don’t you think we suspected a divine relationship?
  6. Do you think media was responsible enough in this case?
  7. How the speculation of hurting the sentiments of victims has helped the case?
  8. Your comments on the media’s role? Are they solving something or making it more complicated?

Rewriting again in addition …

As was expected, after just few hours, I got to see another turn in the story, when finally IndiaTV people weren’t able to hold their share of breaking news and one more name came out with literally word by word details of SMSs and one more name “Sangharsh” or “Sankalp”. Is there anyone to stop them to ruin others lives? Although I should admit that at least this time, they are trying to place to some sympathetic views towards the family itself, but don’t you think that these details with SMSs, Emails, Names and Phone Numbers, will be misused? One thing was very clear from the evidences that killer was someone very professional and nearer to the victim. Then is there any profit of dragging someone’s life into this?

Now, Police is trying to find that who has deleted the social networking profiles… is this leads to something? I don’t think so… in what way, things are being circulated, sure people around Arushi have the reason to get scared, even if without proper reasoning. As much I guess, passwords get shared between girlfriend\boyfriends as most probable case and in second, between siblings and in last case, if someone is computer expert, then with the help of some simple software’s, one could retrieve passwords, especially if the logins are being made from home computer as that is one place, people get more lazy about the security, feeling that their personal thing.
